The Grange.

Mr.. J. T. Eaton is General Deputy
of the State Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, and is devoting his time to
Grange work in reviving dormant
oranges, the organization of new gran
ges and delivering lectures to oranges,
&c. He is ready to go to ary part of
the State to prosecute this work, and
we trust he may be kept busy during
the year. The Grange is noble order
and we sincerely wish that every far
mer in the State belonged to it. The
Farmers Clubs, the Farmers State
Association and the Grange are all
working for the same noble ends, and
we hope to live to see the day when
even the difference in name shall not
exist. Write to Mr.. Eaton at Wild

Road Revolt. and are

ter BIOOdshed!
4 HaIEDozen Shot, But None
Seriously.

About one hundred convicts are
employed in filing in the long tres.
tie at Gash's Creek. about four miles
from Asheville. On Sunday night
a number of these convicts became
turbulent, threw rocks at the guards
and made serious threats. The
whole guard force was kept on duty
throyg ghout the night, and informa.
sieny was sent to the authorities oi
the road IF the pending trouble.
Yesterday morning at .he usual
hour the convict force was ordered
cut OF their barracks; about 60 com.
piled with the order. and about 40
remained behind, all negroes, refus-
ing to obey the orders OF the guard,
threw rocks at the latter and swore
they would not go to work. AL
quiet means were used to induce
the mutineers to go to work, and
these failing, the guard was ordered
to fire upon them, and this they
did, out Intentionally fred over
their heads, hoping to frighten
them. This failed of It's purpose,
and only enraged the convicts, they
becoming more boisterous, and
again threw rocks and brandished
their clubs-they had provided
themselves with an abundance OF
missiles of this kind.
The guards were then instructed
by the managers to load their guns
with small shot and to fire into the
legs of the convicts. This was done
three or four times before a surren-
der was obtained, when the mutt
neers came out and went to work,
all except some six who hai received
Mounds in their legs, though none
were seriously hurt. In the barracks
were found a quantity of provisions
which had evidently been slowed
away for a purposed escape. Capt
McBee arrived on the scene ofaction
& ;uelled. 81 =
! Several of the negroes engaged in
this revolt were in the late meeting
at Tryon City. 1t is now hlped
that the disturbance is at an end,
though a strict watch will be kept
on those engaged in it..

ing that doctors will differ, the
following is related by a physician
of uneuestioned veracity, says a
London paper: In the course of a
lecture which he was delivering be-
lore a number of stu tents, he bad
brought in by the mother, a child
six months old, which, he stated,
was suffering from a very peculiar
affeetion-one seldom seen in this
#conntry-and he requested five of
the students present each separately
to diagnose the case.
The first gave it as his medica!
belief that the child was suffering
from incipient Pneumonia, the sec
ond, after examination, pronounced
lit incipient diphthelia; the third
staked his reputation upon its being
peritonitis; the fourth called it
marasmus, while the fifth said it
was malaria When they had
each made a careful examination
the lecturer said:
"Wcll, gentlemen, nave you any =
thing further to say in regard to the
case ?"
Nothing more than has been al
ready said," was the reply from
each.
"Well," said he, taking the little
one and holding it up before them,
''this is u child that has never had a
day s sickness since its birth. 1t is
the most perfectly healthy child
that have ever SEEN"

LUMBIA RAILROAD
The Charlotte Observer was originally
3 doubtful Thomas as to the intentions
of the "three c. road" thinking that it
was only intended to make the Carolina
Central buy it of. The Observer is now
a firm believer in the purposes of tl,is
rosd to go through from Charleston, S. c.,
to the great west, though it will be some
what an irregular line, 1t will cross the
Carolina Central at Rutherfordton, and
the Observer of few days since, speak
of the road, says:
The road running North from Marion
will pass through Cranberry iron district
of Mitchell county, and then enter the
boundless coal fields of Virginia and
Charlotte will be able to procure coal
iron. steel and hard woods in any quan
tity, at. prices much less than she can
obtain them now. AT the same time ouI
enterprising merchants can establish
rev business connections in Tenn essee
Kentucky and Ohio, and build up q
traffic that will yield large profits to all
who participate in it Although the road
is intended to be through line from the
Ohio Valley to Charleston harhor, itdoes
not necessarily follow that the latter city
will realize the bulk of its trade. On the
contrary there ia reason to believe that
Wilmington will be greater participant
than Charleston, and that because of the
low price at which coal, iron and fine
lumber can pc put down at her whafves
that city will become the most i'm
portant South Atlantic port below Nor
folk.
We urge our readers to study this situa
tion and the prospects of this new rail.

tial agencies for advancing the industries
